The Case Of Henry And Oni

Among the three counseling theory for this week study, I identified with Solution-Focused Brief therapy simply because its method is focused on expand the best parts of a client’s life rather than the number of sessions (Henderson & Thompson, 2011). Another focus of Solution-Focused brief therapy is seeking solutions for clients’ problems rather than search for explanations about his or her problems or how the problem was developed (Henderson & Thompson, 2011). In SFBT “people’s problem result from behavior based on their view of the world” (Henderson & Thompson, 2011, p. 317). The solution process does not have to start with a perfect solution for the client’s problem, rather the therapist can provide the client with a “skeleton key”. It is a term, created by Steve de Shazer, the leading figure of SFT, that refers to interventions that work for a variety of problems that fit sufficiently well so that a solution can progress (Goldenberg & Goldenberg, 2013).

The key steps involved in evidence based practice come from a thirst for knowledge that once ignited makes the next step to asking a well worded clinical question easier. A well formulated question improves patient outcomes and supports the implementation of change. One such method looks at foreground and background questions. A background question is usually a basic knowledge question and is usually answered by a textbook. Foreground questions are usually specific and once answered can help in clinical changes. An acronym useful for formulating a well worded question is PICOT. ( Stillwell, Fineout-Overholt, Melnyk, Williamson, 2010).

I was truly devastated by the stories that both Henry and Henia Bryer presented. I am able to gain appreciation for the things that appear insignificant in my life. As I picture myself in the shoes of Henry and Henia, I gain a sense of hatred towards the Germans. The images of the pile of naked, bony, and dead bodies within both videos truly impacted me. As I observed these images, I saw a glimpse of the horrendous life that the Jews had while living in the concentration camps.

A few of the techniques explains to the client which technique words and what doesn’t in a family setting. In the beginning, it’s more about bringing out concerns more than something that may or may not be taking place in the household. Solution-Focused Therapy also focuses on goals and helpful strategies. The true purpose for this type of therapy is focusing on family strengths. One example of the solution-focused therapy is the formula first session task. This task is an example of showing the family what helps. Also, the counselor is constantly asking questions and doing observations to see how well things go when the family leaves therapy. Another example is the exception question. This is usually the counselor looking at the family and

Although this family has suffered trauma, they have some strengths to draw upon that can benefit them in their therapeutic process. Both Raul and Nora grew up poor. However, they have both managed to go on and secure reputable careers. Raul as a Master Builder and Nora, as a Physical Therapist. This is evidence that they possess the skills that are needed to overcome adversity and negative cultural expectations. Solution-Focused Therapy would come into play so that the practitioner would engage in conversation to ask questions to help Raul and Nora realize their strength. “The practitioner 's role in the solution-focused process is continually to invite clients to explore and define two matters: (1) what it is they want different in their lives (goals) and (2) what strengths and resources they can bring to bear on making these desired differences a reality. The practitioner affirms and amplifies client definitions of goals, past successes, strengths, and resources as they emerge through conversation. Consequently, these conversations focus more on building solutions than on solving problems.” (Berg and DeJong, 1996).

Have you ever known someone with a very special gift? Well, this is John Henry's case. He was the strongest man I've ever seen and he also never said no to a challenge. I can still remember the day when he risked his life only for a challenge. One day a stranger came to offer Captain Tommy a steam engine that he had got for sale, but the boss said that he didn't need any machine because he had John Henry on his side. So, the salesman placed a bet with the captain , that was if John Henry won the machine for a full day, he would get it free. John henry accepted the bet.

The critique of clinical relevance is a necessary part of the appraisal process. It allows the reader to gain insight into the application of the research that has been conducted. The discoveries from this section provide direction to future health care providers in order to improve outcomes for patients in the clinical setting.

Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) is sometimes linked to general Brief Therapy, Problem-Focused Therapy, and Possibility Therapy…. All share some common points of focus:

For this paper, I have chosen to reflect on my current client, Jackson Morgan. I have selected Solution Focused Family Therapy as the best fit based on the Morgan family needs and strengths. I will discuss how I would apply this method, handle obstacles, and develop a collaborative treatment plan. Moreover, I will assess my ability to effectively evaluate treatment efficacy and to control my personal biases in Therapy.

Solution-Focused Family Therapy is a group treatment based on over twenty years of theoretical development, clinical practice, and empirical research. Solution-Focused Family Therapy is different in many ways from traditional approaches to treatment. It is a competency based model, which minimizes importance of past problems, and instead focuses on clients’ strengths and what has worked for the clients. There is a focus on working from the client’s understandings of her or his concerns and situations and determine what they might want to be

In a relationship, it is common for couples to share the blame for issues that arise. However, through the stories in Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri it becomes clear that there is often one one individual who insights these problems. In “A Temporary Matter”, the main character, Shukumar, is mourning the his child who was stillborn and allowing his insecurities to distance him from his wife, Shoba. The story “Interpreter of Maladies” describe the crisis of a middle aged man, Mr. Kapsi, whose unsupportive marriage causes him to crave the attention of other. In “Sexy”, Miranda finally feels wanted by the man she is seeing, Dev, after years of unsatisfying relationships and continues to stay with him despite him being married to

I thought that the exchange between Henry and Bon at the end of chapter 8 shows a big critique of relations, not only between friends but also among people in the society that time. “-You are my brother. No I’m not. I’m the nigger that’s going to sleep with your sister. Unless you stop me” (286) This interaction is interesting because it shows the brotherly love, racial tension, and confliction Henry is faced with. Henry loves Bon like his brother, but he wants Judith for himself so he does not want Bon to sleep with her or be with her. At the same time, Henry justifies why it is acceptable for him to marry Judith when he talks about the old Dukes and royal families that that would marry in the family and he also justifies why Bon should not

Maria explained that the most positive sexual experience of her life is during marriage anniversaries because they put thought into it. In other words, it is meaningful to both of them because it is a special occasion. However, the worse sexual experience was when she first got married because her husband was not responding as she expected, due to his illness. Maria did not want to explain much of her favorite fantasies except that she had hers with popular boys when she was in middle school. Maria or her husband does not use birth control or condoms while having intercourse. The reason why is because they

This paper uses the application, concepts and techniques from The Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and The Satir Model under Family Therapy in working with the case study of George.

The number of affairs was chosen to be the dependent variable. The alternative option to this choice is using a binary independent variable, “if women had at least one affair”. Number of affairs is preferred because, firstly, it is a more comprehensive measure of both genders whereas “if women had at least one affair” accounts for female only; and secondly, of all the responses received, only 31.5% of the participants have engaged in an extramarital affair. By using number of affairs, more information can be reviewed with reduced sample size.
